Actually, English is my first language, and I'm confused every time I see those functions. It's probably too late to change the name, but might I suggest changing the first sentence of callFromThread's docstring from:

Call a function from within another (i.e. non-reactor) thread.

to:

Cause a function to be executed asynchronously on the reactor thread.

This is the language used by SwingUtilities.invokeLater(), which I've always found comparatively clear.
